Why this why now
Creating a product for an authentic purpose is a fundamental aspect of design. This unit builds upon the Year 1 'Templates in textiles: puppets' unit where pupils were introduced to the characteristics of non-woven fabrics and joining techniques. Sustainability is promoted as pupils choose to upcycle fabrics to meet a purpose from the design brief. The knowledge of fabric properties and template design is built upon further in the Year 5 'Using CAD in textiles: pattern design' unit.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils have joined fabric in simple ways by gluing and stitching.
- Pupils have used simple patterns and templates for marking out.
